Check right at the end of the round. If anything, Porter's legs were more shaky there where he had to grab. Spence looked mostly fine. But again, we may be arguing semantics. You believe what you see and vice versa. Hopefully we are able to see all these match ups.
If I had to do a percentage breakdown of Spence against the top WWs and including heading into his fight with Brook, I'd break them down like this:
50/50 vs Crawford
55/45 vs Brook
65/35 vs Thurman
70/30 vs Porter
You can lean slightly towards Crawford if you want, that would be fair but to me that is a true pick-em that could go either way. Thought Brook had the size/strength advantage that would bug Spence some and had good boxing ability. All that proved to be true, but Spence dug in and really took over in the 2nd half of the fight. Thurman will have his shot early to hurt Spence and he is good on his legs, but think Spence ends up breaking him down for a late stoppage. Porter may be able to push Spence back in spots, but I really struggle to see how he wins here. Spence is going to get better of the inside exchanges and Spence has the strength to hold his own when Porter barrages recklessly unlike other WWs. I mean Brook also had the strength and was able to clinch and won the fight fairly comfortable in my eyes in the range of like 9-3 or 8-4.
